the langer's ball

Got a nice email from Michael from The Langer's Ball (maybe a play on langball?). They are a 2-piece Irish Group that has been performing in and around the Twin Cities in the U.S.

I had a quick look at their website and they have The Langer's Blog! No RSS feed tho, so I wouldn't classify it as a real blog. In my eyes a blog has to have a RSS feed!

They do a nice trad version of Galway Girl, which you can listen to here:




So all this has brought doubt into my mind at the title of my own blog: A Langers Blog.

Should there be an apostrophe in my title?! I wondered about this before, but just decided to leave it out. So should I have one?

  • A Langers Blog
  • A Langer's Blog
  • A Langers' Blog

    Probably, if you want to be gramattically correct. It doesn't really mattter though!

  2. Does 'a' refer to 'blog' or 'langer(s)'?

    A Langers Blog: Langers is used as an adjectical-noun to describe 'blog', like a 'langers blog' was its own blog genre.

    A Langer's Blog: A blog belonging to a langer / The blog of a langer.

    A Langers' Blog: A blog belonging to more than one langer / A blog of (the) langers.

    So it all depends on what you wish to get across with the title.

  3. I think I will leave it as it is.

    It's all too confusing to change,a and I don't really know what I want to get across in the title!
